      My bike was stolen, I bought a new one, not expecting to get it back, but I did! It was horrible, the kid who stole it was tearing it apart on the living room floor and then his mum calls the police on him due to an argument. Then I have to pay £250 to collect it from impound, It's mangled, twisted and covered in fingerprint dust, so I asked "If it was found in the thief's house, why dust it for prints?" I then enjoy a 20 minute lecture on how they charged me to do fingerprints but this isn't CSI and how fingerprints are never found. Such a cheek to waste my money like that! I've had long explanations from guilty police before, like why my young sister was naked? Or why I was asked to bring her clothes? Why they only handed her a blanket after I was called and arrived the next day? And why if her clothes were a risk did they leave that thick gold chain round her neck? Explanations fell silent after that!
      A few months back they threw my next door neighbor, my younger brother around like a rag doll. Knocked my door to get me to calm him down, they got the opposite, I was crying and angry because they were clearly deranged. An app had told someone who lost earphones on a train that my brother was a thief! Then the address changed to mine half way through the illegal forced search. They apologized after the complaints rolled in. When I was a kid, the police gave me a harsh lesson, they warn you that crimes get you arrested, but no one warns you that your genitals are a source of entertainment!
      No one warns you that no matter how compliant, apologetic and forthcoming you are, if your not crying, it really makes them angry. It convinces them that your smug and getting away with something and they want to make sure your punished in other ways, and their good enough to explain this to you as they try various methods to make you cry. The last one worked as silent tears dripped on my school shoes while a crowd gathered for my search. I don't just lack respect, they terrify me, all people who can hold control over me terrify me, but the police are like a gang of thugs in a dark alley! I have hormone overproduction problems from genetic GAD, I lose all control if I get upset, so I try my best not to because panic attacks, narcolepsy and sleep paralysis isn't fun! But when I get in trouble, my lack of emotion always makes it worse!

      Divide and conquer. That's what the Government want. They want to control what we say, and where and how we say it. They want us in a position where we cannot communicate. It's a typical communist strategy. That's taken from the Chinese playbook. It's what they do over there, limit social media. They will ban facebook, X and all of it next. Then they will likely make VPN illegal. All this in a democratic, free speaking nation? It's time to face facts that Labour are a communist party. Everything that they are doing screams communism. Limiting what we say online won't stop free speech. All it will do is take our platforms away. There will only be one way left then, before long, and that will be to take our arguments to the street, in open protest, in marches. That will, even of itself, result in chaos and anarchy. I think that's what Labour want. I think that they want Chaos and Anarchy on the streets.

      @@missmuffet3874 Grammar schools helped people in poverty but with a brain to have a better future than they'd get otherwise. Labour decided they didn't want people to be streamed on merit into schools, so the comprehensive system was introduced which levelled people down to the same level, and stopped social mobility.
      Barely anyone went to university until Blair decided half of all school leavers should go. When only a tiny fraction went it was affordable to pay the brightest a grant to go to university to get a worthwhile degree, and to pay the fees. Most student loans aren't paid back, which means that there is essentially a student grant system still in place, so what are you complaining about? It's a much higher cost to the taxpayer these days, particularly with a huge number of quite frankly useless degrees on offer - but the universities need bums on seats.
      When I was at school everyone was really impressed when a girl in the year above me got into university, it was that rare. Most people left school at 15 or 16 and started working. A handful stayed on to do A levels, and a small proportion of those people then went on to university.

    We need to organise politically on the same line as Solidarność in Poland. In the early 1980s, Solidarność (Solidarity in English) gave rise to a broad, non-violent, anti-Communist social movement that, at its height, claimed some 9.4 million members. It is considered to have contributed greatly to the Fall of Communism. This is the way forward. In the meantime we must expose this regime abroad and urge our American friends to impose sanctions on the communist regime ruling Britain. Unfortunately, the UK has become a staunchly authoritarian state. Our institutions are politicised and in disarray, law and order a la carte and rules are only relevant when these serve the regime.

    Online retail combined with high rents has got a lot to do with there being so many struggling or empty shops. Parliament collectively showed how little they cared for small businesses during the lockdowns. These were the type of people who really made Britain as Bonaparte put it:
    "A Nation of Shopkeepers".
    The smoking ban under Blair hit the drinks trade hard. Some of the drop off from pubs is also down to drugs replacing alcohol as their recreational habit of choice. Drugs and dealers are thriving in this so called Cost of Living Crisis. When I stopped going out over 20 years ago there were dealers inside the doorways of some pubs. At the same time big pharma is also doing rather well.
    The main part of that crisis is an ongoing transfer of wealth so I am sure drugs will gradually be fully legalised for purposes of taxation by which point there won't be an NHS to shoulder the burden of an accompanying public health crisis. Less people who would still like to cannot afford to go out for a drink due to reduction in number of hours further lowering their real time wage. Universal Credit is partly to blame for the latter punishing people for working too much. And then the DWP come out with their annual 'getting long term unemployed people back to work' policy rebrand. You really couldn't make all this up but the politicians have at least manipulated it.
    They told us the ree ssettt was a conspiracy theory or misinformtion then Starmer casually threw it into his maiden speech. It is the blatancy of it all in plain sight which gets under the skin.
    Politicians have interfered with the running of the police and compromised the impartiality of the force with one stupid new law after another. Unfortunately it is the police whom the public come into contact with and largely blame. Taking officers off the beat due to sensitivities drove a wedge and now look at the friction in multicultural Britain. Politicians and lawyers (double whammy if your name is Starmer) are safe in their little bubbles, they don't have to care how it affects the rest of us.
    Oh and then there is the media with its identitarian project of soundbytes and labels that have created a minefield for anybody wanting to debate anything.

At each stage we have said, "they'll never do that", and at each stage they did it.

    People lived in streets where everybody knew each other, and looked out for everyone else.
    My grandfather used to work in a tobacconist, and in the early 1950's cigarette companies asked for and got a lower price to sell them at.
    My grandfather said "Supermarkets will be the death of small shops". Ten years later in the early 1960's the tobacconist's he worked at closed. The Supermarkets did the same to the pubs, selling cheap beer and spirits, so, people either don't go out and drink more on their own. Or in small groups (which leads to other illnesses) and become a burden to the NHS. Either that or they get 'pre-loaded' (drunk as a scunk) at home and go out buy one drink in a pub and start a fight...

Now, our social lives are led virtually, without the need for a local community. So people feel that they are being fulfilled socially, and maybe they are, but a consequence of this is that our local communities feel anaemic and heartless.

You turn to Labour, the self-proclaimed "Party of the Working Class." They tell you that you have inherent privilege from your skin colour.
